Bikram Police!! Feeling great and strong for class number 15. Find a nice quiet spot in the studio and prepare myself for sweat. Lights turn on and the room is packed. A man I have never seen but looks quite yoga-esque has set himself up beside me. Now I know we are supposed to stare at ourselves in the mirror but I do have a wandering eye sometimes….I couldn't help but notice the man next to me. His postures were absolutely amazing!! His energy was so great and I have never seen anyone do such a perfect bikram yoga class!! Every posture was picture perfect. So inspiring! I had a wonderful class practicing next to this man. I fed off of his energy and stayed strong with him. Afterwards in the locker room I heard someone mention that we had visitors tonight in class….I guess there were three of them. They were from Bikram headquarters! No wonder he was such a great practioner….he has dedicated himself to Bikram yoga. I have always heard rumours about the so called "bikram police" but thought…no, not possible. But yet here they were practicing with me in our studio! I hope they had as wonderful experience as I did….the energy in the room was great. It's reassuring to know that there are people making sure that Bikram yoga stays Bikram. I know there are places around that claim to be Bikram but are not. They are just yoga in a hot room. I have also heard about shortened Bikram classes lasting only 60 minutes. I like rules. I like that Bikram yoga is the same class every time but yet each class is different in the way my body and mind process it. I am happy that there are people traveling around the world to maintain the integrity of Bikram yoga. Half way done….
